Ordered a salad, limited dressing options and it's EXTRA. Also got what was supposed to be a chicken sandwich, it was dry. So dry chicken sandwich, and dry chicken salad. Definitely a loss today. 🙏🙏🙏

The Bacon Cheese Hungr-Buster was the best burger I'd had at DQ in many years. My wife enjoyed her Dude (chicken-fried steak sandwich). They made me a perfect chocolate shake - not too thick and not too thin. DQ makes best chocolate shakes in the world; I only wish they came in a larger size.

Avoid at all cost. Worst DQ in Texas. Started with sitting in the driver thru maybe 5 minutes before me saying “hello?” To get an answer. Ordered my food having to repeat everything and clarifying again. Felt very little confidence that the order was correct. Got to the window and the gal was struggling with getting the order in the computer- NBD. Figured maybe she is new. Finally paid and got my receipt, and of course the order is wrong. Again, no big deal- I didn’t want a combo but was getting a combo. Hanging out waiting, and she brings me my blizzard. I let her know that’s not my blizzard- it was not what I ordered and it looked disgusting. Again verified what I ordered, and she continued to argue and say I was wrong. I asked if I could get something else instead since we disagreed on ingredients of the blizzard. She told me she would have to charge me if I wanted something else. At this point, I’m frustrated. I hand her the blizzard back and tell her to cancel my whole friggin order. I set my receipt on the window sill as she now starts to say “let me get the manager” with an attitude. And I proceed to leave before wasting any more of my time at this place.

Certainly an above average DQ.. food fresh and hot. French fries weren’t great but at DQ I don’t believe they ever are.
